How often do you use your racial skill? : V

» Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:43 am

I was talking to someone I know who pays an orc also and he never uses his racial. I seem to use mine at the end of major dunegons that have a boss every time and frequently burn it up at other times. The orc racial is pretty good when it's being used.

What race did you pick and how often do you use your racial ability?

Do you like your racial ability?

I just wish I could hot key a specific power to a key to make it easier to use and change.

I honestly forget its there sometimes, I used it twise so far on the parts I really got stuck. Playing as a High Elf.

I always tend to forget both my shouts and racials.

Although, Command Animal did save my Bosmer's ass. I used it on two mammoths, and they were able to damage these two giants enough before they died that I could finish them off by kiting.

I'm a Bosmer and my power is awesome. I use it all the time on Sabre tooths and Bears. I beat a Spriggan the other day just by turning two bears it turned on me against it. I felt like I had true command of nature that day.

High Elf/Orc....

All the time.

I'm playing Khaijit and I have used mine once in about 25 hours of gameplay. Partially because I forget it and partially because it is useless anyway if I can't see I just turn up the brightness.

I love my character's racial. As a RedGuard, Adrenaline Rush has improved vastly in usability from the last game.

With it, you can either charge or sprint away indefinitely, spam any power-attack like no other, and neglect other stamina boosters altogether.

Redguard is perfect for dual-wielding fighter characters, and I'm glad I chose him.

Although, I do find it a bit racist that the black character has the ability to sprint forever, lol.

I'm an Argonian and I use mine all the time. It's called Histskin and it makes my health regenerate much faster for 60 seconds. It's great for boss fights and fights involving multiple tough enemies. If I'm fighting 4 enemies at once or something, I'll use it. It's extremely valuable and makes things much easier.

All Orc characters should use their racial power as much as possible. It's amazing.

I use my Night-eye a lot. Game is damn dark, but most powers aren't used very frequently in TES games thats why they CD for a whole day

Dark Elf and as much as I can.

Okay so this question has been killing me. Does Command Beast scale? ie. is it as useful at level 30 as it is at level 1 because in oblivion it became totally worthless after level 5 or so.

orcs disagree about best at stabbing people.

If my targets could explode they would.

im an imperial, so no i never use it, it svcks

other then increase found money slightly what does an imperial racial even do?

» Fri Nov 18, 2011 10:25 am

i pretty much never use histskin, but LOVE water breathing!

» Fri Nov 18, 2011 3:43 pm

Playing as a Dunmer mage, pretty much never use my racial. I use shouts a lot though.

» Fri Nov 18, 2011 4:22 am

I keep forgeting I have it, but once I really start doing dungeon crawling, I'll be saving it for the end bosses. (I'm an Orc. In RL. J/k)

» Fri Nov 18, 2011 3:26 am

Never use it or many of my shouts either,as the key binding thing is a pain in the bum to use.Kind of got used to the crappy UI on PC,but this just isnt worth the effort imo.

I used my Nord power in a boss fight against undead, part of the imperial army quest, problem was i seemed to fear all my allies and was left alone with a boss and 2 adds, haven't used it since.

» Fri Nov 18, 2011 3:27 pm

I use night-eye with khajitt all the time.

Orc not so much the racial power but definitely the shouts

It is one thing that is waaaay better in skyrim - night-eye effect. No more eye-bleeding blue on blue..

» Fri Nov 18, 2011 9:01 am

I play as a Dunmer and I've used my power when things got hairy. Basically I light myself and everyone around me on fire.

I kinda like Voice of the emperor really.

I checked it up and they get a calm spell?

Does it scale up with your level?

I play an orc melee assassin with illusions and I really really use calm a lot to get backstabs in a tight spot I would love such a racial.
